Hi, LBT Adventurers,
As mentioned at recent LBT dinners I am looking to take Seaire for a 2 week summer outing up to Wineglass Bay in January 23 and am inviting any interested LBT members with larger boats to join the excursion. We have a few boats already keen to join.
Leaving approx. Jan 10th – 11th from Southport and returning by Jan 24th we will travel up and back in casual company depending on weather conditions by either the Inside Channels or outside Bruny Is/Tasman Peninsular and stop along the way at various locations as conditions allow. Eg, Dunalley, Maria Is, Adventure Bay, Port Arthur, Tasman Island, Cape Hauy, Orford, Scholten Is Swansea, Freycinet etc, etc. There are lots of options for beautiful bays, beaches and coastline to explore.
Also, a couple of other LBT members (Endra, Jane and Dennis) are looking to organise a shorter mini raid of smaller LBT boats (dinghy yachts and skiffs) to do a trip from Coles Bay to Scholten Is with dates to be decided (approx. 5 days) and it is anticipated that both groups will meet up around Scholten Is.
These will be a self – managed excursions with each of the 2 groups’ boats and members organising their own crews, travel, food and camping arrangements, with everyone supporting each other (Safety in numbers) where they can should the need arise. Join the trip where you can and as it suits you.
If you are interested in being involved in anyway shoot an email to:
Tom Stevens blueystevens1957@outlook.com or text 0418 988 794.
Endra O’May endra2012@hotmail.com or text 0412 168 552
I will create a What’s app group in due course for those who express interest to share ideas and keep in touch.
Attached outline map of the general route for larger boats (250 nm return) for discussion only.
Regards Tom Stevens.
